weight (force) = mg
Look up g if you don't know it.
Now, divide that by the relative gravity of the moon. For example, if the moon has 1/2 the gravity of earth, you will need double the mass for the same weight.
Andee has a mass of 68.5 kg on earth. What is his weight on Earth? What should his mass be in order to have the same weight at the surface of the moon?

I have this assignment too right now,and can't answer it..because the gravity of earth in the moon is not given:(
W = mg
W = (68.5 kg) (9.8 m/s^2)
W = 671 N
m = W/g
m = 671N/9.8 m/s^2
m = 68.5 kg
Lols. Not really sure about the answer on the mass because there's no given gravity of the moon.

Cheating is bad. Use your calculator.
Answer is lanny
671.3=w on Earth
M=w/g
=671.3N/1.6m/s2
m=419.5652= mass in the moon
W=mg (419.5652)(1.6)
W=671.3 N weight in the moon
M=w/g
=671.3N/1.6m/s2
m=419.5652= mass in the moon
W=mg (419.5652)(1.6)
W=671.3 N weight in the moon
